How to get the systemd resolver to resolve local (i.e. unqalified) names?

[Xen]

Note that the systemd system works by changing /etc/nsswitch.conf, I 
believe. On a typical Debian 8 host this file would look like this:

hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns

for the hosts line. I don't know what it does with you.

I believe it was the file

/lib/libnss_dns-2.19.so or similar that originally did that "dns" lookup 
using /etc/resolv.conf.

Now residing in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss_dns-2.19.so

That /lib/libnss_mdns4_minimal.so.2 would be the multicast DNS (where 
you don't use a dns server).

It should be possible to get the old behaviour back by editing 
/etc/nsswitch.conf?

Regards.
